FLATIRON BUILDING, NYC / graphite on paper
I've passed by this landmark often in my visits to Strand Books in the East Village of Manhattan.
Inspired by Steichen, Stieglitz, and my own take on the essence of the place.

Beginnings ...
A young bird was crying out in the grass. As I approached, its cries increased, not from fear, it seemed, but from an effort to be saved. I picked it up. No injuries as far as I could tell. A squab, not fully fledged. It looked familiar; I thought I should know its species. I made bird sounds, whistles, and when I imitated a mourning dove’s call, it responded with, "Pipipipipipipip!"
I fed it cracked corn and millet, and kept it in a cage at the window. The sky was always reflected in its eyes. One day, it worked its wings with purpose and desire, and I let it go.
